Yes, after some less than successful experiments with a purely solar powered autowatering rig this year I'll be going to a battery powered one next year. I have a header tank for it and a lift pump, so for "normal use" I can rig it to push a hundred litres or so into the header tank, allow it to warm through the day and then drop it in at night...

What size/type of experiment did you do? Yunno, just a rough outline. :)Congratulations on the pumpkin, by the way. Its something of an achievement just to get on the calculating scale. ;D
